    What you’re seeing is the inner workings of the holographic universe we inhabit. Your brain interprets the signal as static.

    /Obviously I’m not serious…

        I mean, I guess that’s true in a peculirar sort of way in which nothing really exists outside of our perception of it.

        What I mean by that is that whatever we see, hear, taste, etc… is merely neurons firing in our brain, processing a signal that it receives. So if we’re looking at a tree for example; that tree is just light/energy waves vibrating on a specific frequency. It’s only when it hits our optic nerve and travels to our brain that it’s translating into something that we call a “tree”.

        So when the eyes are closed, the random interference pattern could indeed be interpreted as you say. Goog catch. Kind of makes you wonder.
